How do we raise test scores? We cheat and call it partial credit

So when you promise the public your test scores will be raised next year, you'd better deliver, right? You sure better! And how do you do that? Well, you change the number of points needed to pass, that's what you do! And then you pass the kid even when he got the answer WRONG! It's called using a "holistic rubric"! (holistic definition: identifying with principles of holism in a system of therapeutics, esp. one considered outside the mainstream of scientific medicine, as naturopathy or chiropractic, and usually involving nutritional measures----rubric definition:An authoritative rule or direction---make sense yet?)
